Search Tips

For scripture citation search, a drop down menu will show all the available citations as soon as you start to type.

For fulltext search, type in any keywords that come to mind, and the search engine will return results ranked by relevancy.
You can also use some special keystrokes to refine your search. They include:

symbol

use to...

" " (double quotation marks)

search for a phrase

* (asterisk)

search with a wildcard

+ (plus sign)

require that the word or phrase be present in all results

- (minus sign)

require that the word or phrase NOT be present in any results

~ (tilde)

make the word or phrase fall lower in the results; acts like the - (minus) symbol without entirely removing the word or phrase from the results

Italicized readings, complementary to the standard reading, may be used with, or in place of it.

* During Eastertide a reading from Acts is often substituted for the lesson from the Hebrew Bible. On the Day of Pentecost, if the Old Testament passage from Genesis is chosen for the first reading, the passage from Acts is used as the second reading.
